No idea, but tomorrow is the big day, or so reddit claims.

Looks good. I was a bit shocked about the size of the thing, but seems it's actually slightly smaller than the iPhone6 if this graphic from reddit is accurate:

That's a 6+. The 6+ has a 5.5" display.

Been looking for my next phone to replace my Iphone 5. I did have it down to the Sony Xperia Z3 or the LG 3G but after reading and hearing from friends who have the Nexus 5 I'm going to wait until this is out to see if I go for a Nexus 6.

Be careful, if rumours are true it will utterly dwarf an iPhone 5.
Just throwing it out there as it seems that a lot of people who ordered the iPhone 6+ seem to be caught of guard for some reason.

I suppose I ought to wait till it's released, but If it's any larger than the Nexus 5 it's too big for me. I've been very happy with the Nexus range; the 4 was superb and the 5 is/was probably the best of it's 'generation' (that period of a few weeks when it was released when compared to competition wink).
I really like smart phones and the facilities/apps they offer, but I miss a proper mobile too - my T28i in particular. The current models are getting too big with little benefit, bar more room to display HD adverts.

Everything seems to point to it being 5.9", which I think is a ridiculous form factor for a phone.

I will probably buy a six, but I wish it was a bit smaller. The nex5 and iPhone are about right, to my girlie sized hands, at least.

I may give the 6 a miss to be honest. It's not made by LG this year which is a shame as their build quality is excellent IMO.

My 5 has more than enough power to run for another year. I could root it now too if I wanted to mess about but it does everything so well I don't think I'll bother.

If Lollipop has the battery update in it, then surely the 5 will have a boost in battery performance too?

Now, that 9 looks lush. I've had my beady eye on the benchmark scores for the Tegra in it and am impressed. I need a replacement for my LG G Pad (which my brother has coincidentally taken).

Ditto.
6 is too big so will keep the 5, but my 7 is dog tired so the 9 is looking good.

$650 and 6".. very strange, I guess Google are pitching this more at developers than consumers.

That'll be at least £400 in the UK.

More sales for OnePlus One I guess!

Droid turbo is to be announced on 28th. Larger battery and smaller screen than the 6.

£400 would get me interested. It'll be £500+

Both look great, the 6 will be to big for me personally though.
Is it me or does that light brown actually looks great on the 9?
